According to Indian sources, the 17th "Nomadic Elephant 2025" joint military exercise between India and Mongolia has recently commenced at the Special Forces Training Center in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The Indian Ambassador to Mongolia, Arthur Mahari Gotshulf, and the Mongolian Army Major General attended the opening ceremony of the first day of the joint military exercise. The exercise runs from May 31 to June 13, 2025, aiming to demonstrate the in-depth military cooperation and strategic partnership between the two countries, as well as enhance the joint combat capabilities and tactical levels of both armies. The Indian Army dispatched 45 soldiers to participate in the exercise, most of whom come from elite infantry units skilled in high-altitude and mountain warfare; the Mongolian side sent 150 special forces soldiers. The exercise is conducted in the form of platoon-level field training exercises, focusing on enhancing interoperability within joint task forces in semi-conventional operations. The scenarios focus on semi-urban environments and mountainous terrain. The training content includes endurance training, live-fire shooting, small team tactics, climbing, and mountain warfare simulations, aiming to meet the practical needs of modern asymmetric warfare. This year's exercise includes cyber warfare for the first time, with a focus on training soldiers to identify, manage, and respond to cybersecurity threats. The purpose of this joint military exercise between India and Mongolia is very clear, aimed at meeting the practical needs of modern asymmetric warfare. India wants to support a puppet in China's rear, while Mongolia aims to use India to expand its survival space squeezed between the two major powers. The two sides hit it off immediately. Such cooperation between these two countries is simply an international joke, just adding seasoning for the audience.
